Setup

  1. Shuffle the Action Cards and place them face down to one side.
  2. Shuffle the Challenge, Social, Battle and No Escape cards together, split them into 4 random decks and place them face down in the middle of the table.
  3. Set the Battle Master and Social Master cards aside.
  4. Give each player one Ma Bshil card.
  5. The last player to post on Instagram goes first.

Your turn

Choose one of the 4 decks, draw the top card and do what it says. Play then passes clockwise.

Social Card

  • Do it: keep the card face up in front of you and earn the points written on it.
  • Refuse: lose 1 point, your turn ends and the card goes to the discard pile.

Challenge Card

  • Do it: keep the card face up in front of you and earn the points written on it.
  • Try and fail: no points, and the card goes to the discard pile.
  • Refuse: lose 2 points, your turn ends and the card goes to the discard pile.

Battle Card

  • Everyone plays. Each player has 2 seconds to do what the card asks. Too slow or wrong and you're out, until only one winner is left.
  • The winner keeps the card face up and earns its points. Everyone else gains and loses nothing.
  • Anyone who refuses to join loses 2 points and sits out the round.

No Escape Card

You're stuck. Your friends won't let you off the hook. You can't use a Block Delete Action Card or your Ma Bshil card on it.

Action Cards

You only get an Action Card by winning. They work on Challenge and Social cards only, and go to the discard pile once used.

  • Orange: use it on your own turn when you draw a Challenge or Social card.
  • Green: use it when another player draws a Challenge or Social card.
  • Blue: if you draw a Challenge or Social card, discard it (once) and draw another.

End of your turn

  • If you won your card, draw one Action Card. You can use it from your next turn.
  • After a Battle, the winner draws one Action Card to use from their next turn.
  • Play passes to the player on your left (clockwise).

Special cards

Battle Master Card

  • The first player to win 3 Battle Cards takes it and earns +2 points.
  • It can be stolen: if another player wins one more Battle Card than the holder (4 in this case), it's theirs.

Social Master Card

  • The first player to win 3 Social Cards takes it and earns +2 points.
  • It can be stolen: if another player wins one more Social Card than the holder (4 in this case), it's theirs.

Ma Bshil Card

  • Each player gets one.
  • Use it once per game to skip a Challenge or Social card with no penalty. Your turn still ends.
  • Once used, flip it face up in front of you until the end of the game.

When the cards run out

  • Action Cards are not reshuffled. Once the pile is empty, there are no more Action Cards for the rest of the game.
  • When the 4 main decks run out, shuffle the discard pile, split it into 4 random decks again and keep playing.
